Extreme Networks EPICenter Installation Manual page 17

9 A dialog box appears asking about several options you can enable:
Enable Automatic Updates. This feature configures EPICenter to automatically retrieve the most
●
current information about device and slot software and bootrom images from the Extreme
Networks web site each time you connect the Client to the EPICenter Server.
If you enable this feature, EPICenter will connect to the Extreme Networks web site at server
start-up and once every 24 hours to obtain a list of the current software releases, and a list of any
available EPICenter patches. No information is sent to Extreme Networks except an indication
that you are running with an evaluation license, if that is the case.
NOTE
If you disable this feature, you will not able to obtain software update information through the Software Update
feature in the Firmware Manager. You can enable this feature at a later time through EPICenter Administration,
Server Properties tab, under the External Connections area. Click the checkbox to allow connection to the
Extreme Networks web site.
Install as Services (Windows)/Install as Daemons (Linux/Solaris). Enable this option to install
●
the EPICenter database and web server components as Windows services or a Solaris/Linux
daemons.
In Windows, when the EPICenter components run as services, they are started automatically on
system boot, and will persist across user logins and logouts. For Windows installations, you can
select whether to run the EPICenter services automatically at startup or start them manually.
NOTE
You must have administrator or root permissions to install as Services or Daemons.
10 The next panel asks you to verify the components and installation directory. Click Install to proceed
with the installation, and follow the onscreen instructions.
11 If you are upgrading from EPICenter 6.0 or 7.0, you have the option to migrate the database and
other persistent data to the new installation. In the dialog box that appears, Select Yes to migrate the
data, or No to continue without doing so. (On Windows systems, this dialog box appears only if a
previous installation of EPICenter is detected.)
Migrating the database does not affect your previous EPICenter installation; the old database is left
intact and still functional.
NOTE
This installation utility migrates the database from EPICenter 6.0 or 7.0 to EPICenter 7.1. Database migration
from earlier versions of EPICenter (or ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager) are not supported.
Click Next to continue.
12 On Solaris or Linux systems, if you select Yes, a dialog box is displayed prompting you to specify
the path to the previous EPICenter installation. Enter the path to the previous EPICenter installation
(for example,
/opt/extreme/epc6_0
The installation proceeds, with an indicator showing the progress of the process.
13 If you are migrating an existing database, the old database engine is started automatically in order to
accomplish the database migration—a Sybase window may appear briefly while this happens.
If you are not migrating a database, this will not occur.
